Here's all you need to make your own. It's sized to fit a travel wipes container (you know, those hard plastic ones that hold wet baby wipes) and a few disposable diapers; if you increase the dimensions by a bit, you can put your cloth dipes (or a whole lot more disposables) in it, too. (I would like to make it clear that I have not seen one of the $15 ones in person, and this is my interpretation of a generalized design. I have in no way copied the dimensions, styling, or other features of the one that is patent-pending, and had made fabric diaper-holding cases for myself before that one came on the market.) I would recommend measuring the wipes case you use most frequently before sewing this. If it's wider or thicker than a standard case (I used the "Huggies" hard plastic case when making the pattern), you'll need to enlarge the pattern correspondingly. An extra inch is probably sufficient for most larger cases, but do experiment before cutting your fabric. You can estimate how much wider you'll need to make the case if you stack up your wipes case and the number of diapers you plan to carry, then measure around the stack with a tape measure. The finished fabric diaper case as printed is 13" all the way around (measuring around the girth, parallel to the "crafts.sleepingbaby.net" imprint on the one in the picture above). If your stack is wider than that, you'll need to add some width to your pieces. I would cut the piece in half vertically, splice in the amount you'll need to add (keeping in mind that you need to add half that amount to both the front and back pieces -- so if you need an extra 2" total, you'd add an inch to the front and an inch to the back), and go from there. * Fabrics: "Fat quarters" (pieces that are 18" by 22") are sufficient for this project! You'll need one of a fashion fabric, and another for lining (or you can use the same two; you'll need two pieces that are about 15" by 14"). * One 2.5-3" piece of hook and loop tape (like Velcro®) * Pattern pieces: Front, Back piece 1, Back piece 2 (with flap) [Pieces are GIFs and will open in a new window. Back pieces overlap and are taped together where marked -- whole piece is too large for a single piece of paper.] * Matching thread * Around a half-hour of your time, depending on your sewing knowledge See less »
